Chapter 4, Problem 100P
A horizontal rope is attached from a truck to a 1400 kg car. As the truck tows the car on a horizontal straight road, the rope will break if the tension is greater than 2500 N. Ignoring friction, find the maximum possible acceleration of the truck if the rope does not break.

In an investigation a student placed a 0.85 kg cart on a table. They tie one end of a light string (assume mstring= 0kg) to the front of a cart, passes it through a pulley and then onto a 0.50 kg hanging mass. Assume there is no friction.
Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the cart.
Determine the magnitude of the tension.
A 129 kg crate is sitting at the top of a ramp, which is inclined at an angle of 20 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Someone gives the crate a quick shove to get
it moving, after which it slides down the ramp without any further assistance. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ramp is ls = 0.23. What is
the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s?) of the crate?
A horizontal rope is attached from a truck to a 1466-kg car. As the truck tows the car on a horizontal straight road, the rope will break if the tension is greater than 2649 N. Ignoring friction, what is the maximum possible acceleration of the truck if the rope does not break?
